Instructions
-
Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350°F.
-
Combine guava paste, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and juice in a small saucepan; whisk over low heat until the guava paste melts, then set aside.
-
Finely chop green onions in a food processor. Add goat cheese, softened cream cheese, ricotta, 2 eggs, and flour; process until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then incorporate any desired optional ingredients.
-
Chill the cheese mixture for at least one hour.
-
Form the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in breadcrumbs until fully coated, then place on a baking sheet and refrigerate until frying.
-
Fry cheese balls in batches until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried fritters to a paper-towel-lined plate.
-
Serve fritters warm with the dipping sauce; keep them warm in a 200°F oven if serving later.
